Pairing for a wine drinker: La Choulette Framboise- Brasserie La Choulette - Fruit Beer
This is my favorite framboise and will hold up to the sweeter portions on your plate.

Not So Traditional Pairing - Supplication - Russian River - Wild Ale
I usually recommend pinot noir to pair with turkey. Supplication is aged in pinot noir barrels so I'm hoping the subtle flavors of the pinot have the same effect. The fact that I love sours and can drink them all night helps also.

I love this meal. It's always in my monthly rotation. Hot Italian sausages with Il Primo Giardiniera peppers on a Italian sub roll. I topped it off with Boars Head spicy mustard. Beer of choice, Oppigareds Well Hopped Lager. This German Pilsner gives off those delicate herbal grass flavors that are typical for the style. A nice refreshing beer to compliment the spiciness of the peppers and sausage. I purchased all theses products from the Olive Tree Market.
